Documents for conversion may exist in a wide variety of file formats. Most common are files produced by applications such as Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Visio, as well as emails, text, and scanned image files such as JPEG, TIFF, PNG, GIF, and BMP. Long-term retention and interchange with business partners are the main reasons for converting such documents.
